"Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru" is scheduled to be adapted into an anime starting in July 2022. The same author's previously popular and well-known work, "Teasing Master Takagi-san," is already well-known, but what production company and staff are involved in this sequel? Also, who will be the voice actors playing the characters? There are probably many questions. So, this time, we'll introduce the production team and voice actors announced as of April 2022!
The production company is SILVER LINK.
The company in charge of producing the anime "Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru" is SILVER LINK. SILVER LINK. is probably best known for producing the anime series "Non Non Biyori." They also produced the previously introduced "Restaurant to Another World." They also seem to be involved in many anime series featuring cute characters, such as "Nourin" and "Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai!" Incidentally, "Teasing Master Takagi-san," by the same author, which was airing until recently, was produced by "Shin-Ei Animation," a different production company from this work.
Character design by Kazuya Hirata
Kazuya Hirata is in charge of character design for "And Then There Were None." Looking at his previous work, he has worked on characters for "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya Drei!!," "I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense," and "Miss Sunohara-sou's Caretaker."
Series Composition by Deko Akao
Deko Akao is in charge of series composition for "Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru." She also worked on "Etotama," "Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu," "Hige wo Shite, Soshita Joshikou wo Kuri wo Uru," and the previously introduced "Oshi ga Budokan Ittekuretara Shinu." She also occasionally writes program compositions, often hosting anime radio shows.
The voice actor for Ayumu Tanaka is Yohei Azagami
The voice actor who plays the protagonist of this work, Ayumu Tanaka, is Yohei Azagami. He has been active as a voice actor since 2011, and in 2016, he made his debut as Kennosuke Aoma Tokisada in "Chrome Shelled Regios." Since then, he has consistently played major characters every year, including Seijuro Kamiyama in "New Sakura Wars the Animation" and Shikuya Yakama in "Aquatope of the White Sands." She also casually appeared in small roles in the "Madoka Magica" movies, "Dragon Ball Super," and "Sailor Moon." Before the anime was released, commercials for her were aired, featuring voice actors Hiroki Yasumoto and Yoshimasa Hosoya.
Yaotome Urushi is voiced by Kanna Nakamura.
The heroine of this work, Yaotome Urushi, is voiced by Kanna Nakamura. In the commercials released in advance, popular voice actors such as Iguchi Yuka and Kohara Yoshimi played the role, but I think many people wouldn't recognize this name when they hear it as the heroine in the main story. That's because Nakamura Anna only made her voice acting debut in 2018, and has only played unnamed mob characters three times in the TV anime in 2019 and 2021. This time, the role of Urushi is her first named character, and her first leading role (first main character). I asked what her voice was like in the PV, and it well captured Urushi's trembling voice when she's embarrassed, so perhaps this work will be the catalyst for her to become a popular voice actress.
Takeru the Ceramic Dragon is voiced by Tsubasa Goda
Takeru the Ceramic Dragon, Ayumu's friend since middle school, is voiced by Tsubasa Goda. Anyone who immediately recognized this name and knew what character's voice she was playing must be a serious voice actor enthusiast (lol). As of April 2022, she is a mysterious voice actress with no wiki page. The only named character she has played in the anime is Teruhiko Yukimura in "Classroom of the Elite." I'm sure most people can't remember what she sounds like. I listened to various voice samples, and it seems she can play a wide range of roles, from androgynous to youthful to even a bit villainous. I'm excited to see how she'll perform in this film.
Mikage Sakurako is voiced by Hina Hitsujimiya
Sakurako, my personal favorite character, is voiced by Hina Hitsujimiya. She's also a newcomer who only started her voice acting career in 2020, so she may not be as well-known as she used to be. She began her career as a voice actress in television anime in 2021, playing her first major role as Yagino Toka in "SELECTION PROJECT." She is a promising newcomer, having played major characters in three series in 2022, including this one. She is also scheduled to appear as Mokuren in the author's "Kunoichi Tsubaki no Mune no Uchi."
Kagawa Rin will be played by Mikawa Kazuki
Ayumu's junior, Rin, will be played by Mikawa Kazuki. Another rookie voice actress, she was scouted in 2017 and made her TV anime debut in 2020. In 2022, she will play the main characters Rin in this work and Mayusura in "The Reincarnated Sage's Alternate World Life: I Gained a Second Profession and Became the Strongest in the World."
Maki will be played by Kana Hanazawa
Maki, Urushi's friend, appears less frequently than the characters introduced so far, and is voiced by Kana Hanazawa. I don't think there's any need to introduce her most notable works, so I'll skip over them, but she's an incredibly popular voice actress. When I saw the other cast members, I thought, "Will it be filled with new voice actors?", so I was surprised when I saw this cast (lol). Recently, she's often played older sister-like characters, so I think she's a perfect fit for Maki's character.
"And Then There Were None" Production Company and Voice Actors Summary
So far, I've introduced the production company and cast involved in "And Then There Were None." What did you think? Many of the voice actors are newcomers, so it's fun to predict how they'll play the characters. I'm already looking forward to this series starting airing in July 2022.
